Celebrate National Cheesecake Day at Junior’s Deli in L.A.

Celebrate National Cheesecake Day at Junior’s Deli in Westwood on the Westside of Los Angeles. It’s the next best thing to a cupcake!

Best of all, Junior’s will deliver your creamy cheesecake to your home. With or without strawberries! Call 1-800-475-DELI.

Junior’s Deli is the venerable eatery located at 2379 Westwood Blvd near Pico. Just yards from the Westside Pavilion.

Junior’s Deli is a Jewish-style restaurant, like Cantor’s on Fairfax. Most of the waitresses are old timers and service can be sassy and cavalier. The food receives mixed reviews, but their baked goods are usually out of the oven the same day and homemade. Best of all, Junior’s is open at 6:30 AM and stays open until 11 PM on weekdays and 12 midnight on the weekends.

And yes, they do serve cupcakes. Not gourmet cupcakes. Junior’s serves the kind of cupcakes your Bubby made in her own kitchen. Moist chocolate or vanilla cake, real buttercream frosting swirled high and topped with “jimmies” (sprinkles.)
